you. well there is no mourning like you know mourning. there is scared death and i watch out of the window all of the time. i watch our monitors 360 all of the time. i watch around me and my family all of the time. and if anybody is coming at my at the wrong angle, and stood there too long, i watch their eyes, i watch every movement because the torture is still there and those people that wanted to become famous off my son, that still hasn t gone away. and i m waiting for i m waiting for the help to hit every day. it is one minute past the top of the hour and we are speaking with joel and mary rich, the parents of seth rich. about the impact conspiracy theories have, especially on them in light of how their son s murder was covered and the narrative created around it. we ll continue the conversation just let you know. we re also following breaking news about queen elizabeth ii. apparently gravely ill. and steve bannon due in court in the next half hour or so. we ll be c
with joel and mary rich, the parents of seth rich. about the impact conspiracy theories have, especially on them in light of how their son s murder was covered and the narrative created around it. we ll continue the conversation just let you know. we re also following breaking news about queen elizabeth ii. apparently gravely ill. and steve bannon due in court in the next half hour or so. we ll be covering that live as well. but we continue now with joel and mary rich. and mike barnical has the next question. mrs. rich, you ve lived a double nightmare, you and your husband for all of these years, the nightmare of losing your son. the nightmare of being surrounded by conspiracy theorists and having your lives put in peril because of their conspiracy theories, including that of steve bannon who has been indicted today in new york city. but my question to you is, today
statement from the buckingham palace, her doctors are concerned for her health and they recommend they remained under medical supervision. meanwhile, moments ago steve bannon arrived at a new york courthouse to surrender to new york state prosecutors. the manhattan district attorney s office has been investigating bannon s connection to a fundraising effort called we build the wall. federal prosecutors allege bannon pocketed $1 million in that scheme. tom winter is live outside of the courthouse. tom, what more could you tell us? reporter: right, willie. well steve bannon arrived here at 9:09 this morning which is about what we expected. he ll be in the courthouse behind me at approximately 2:15 when they will figure out what steve bannon has been charged with but all sign ready pointing to, as you suggested, that we

which they moved money through and paid colfax and prosecutors said that bannon benefited and hi personal expenses were paid for out of the money for those donations. so it is not clear what specific conduct bannon will be charged with today or the specific state statutes so we have no idea what potential penalties bannon could face if he is convicted. bannon pleaded not guilty at the time to the federal charges. case never went to trial because as we all know he was pardoned by former president trump before trump left office. so we never got to see bannon in court and examine the evidence in this case and now we ll figure out what state prosecutors want to do here. bannon pleaded not guilty and issued a statement first to nbc news and our colleague kristen welker two days ago directly addressing this indictment that is expected today saying he ll essentially fight to the death and that he also raised
